4CCs: Pairs short program

Duhamel/Radford (CAN) completed a stunning technical program as they often do, with a superb side by side triple lutz and a throw triple lutz. They skated with great speed and flow and assured the first place with 70.44 getting a monstrous 40 points on the technical elements.

Moore-Towers/Moscovitch (CAN) have a beautiful and detailed short program that they completely delivered today. Technically, they presented a less difficult program than their compatriots', but went basically clean on any element (a good opening triple twist, side by side triple toe and a high throw triple loop). 66.33

Castelli/Shnapir (USA) opened the last group of the pairs competition. They started well with a high triple twist and a side by side triple salchow. They lost their unison on the side by side spin and Marissa fell on the throw triple salchow over rotating it. 53.06﻿
